Battle of Nowa Wieś

Significance

The Battle of Nowa Wieś took place on February 19, 1831, during the November Uprising, pitting a Polish force under Józef Dwernicki against a substantially larger Russian Imperial force commanded by Cyprian Kreutz. The Russian force numbered approximately 20,000 against roughly 3,000 Polish troops, and Russian casualties of 200 were recorded. Beyond these basic facts, the available source material does not provide sufficient detail to characterize the battle's effect on the broader uprising or its operational consequences.
